Moycullen's St. Patrick's Day Parade

Not everyone is lucky enough to be off on St Patrick's day weekend. 

Some people work to make others happy and supply them with green cupcakes and green cakes and so on....

Still I managed to sneak out and take a few shots ...how could I resist?

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW

OK. If this is all the cold, frost and snow we are going to see this winter, 

it is not bad at all!!

We had a few days in the falling snow and it is enough, 

now I am waiting for the green and listening to the chirping birdies outside my window.

I took some great shots out there in the bogs for the last few days

 and that will keep me going for a while.

Now! Bring on the spring flowers and the bright warm sun!

Killarainey Woods Walk, Moycullen

I know some people don't even think twice about doing this walk since they live just right next to it but hey, we are not all neighbors all right?!

We went there on a cloudy grey weekend day with the two boxers and boy was that a mistake..It was so muddy and full of people... 

The dogs had a blast meeting so many furry friends but I am not really fond of mud up to my ankles (really in some parts) but it is a very popular walk so a lot of people come here with dogs, kids and friends.

I prefer something more secluded and peaceful..So I can let the dogs run and play while I take photos..

But every path is worth exploring and this is definitely the place to go if you are looking for a leisurely walk with the kids.

Moycullen After The Rain

Most people believe that nature is more beautiful than cities, towns or villages. For me, from my own photographer's point of view urban photography is as exciting as the wide open expanse of Connemara bog lands and mountains. 

Last month walking into Moycullen early in the morning, right after a light rain, I found myself absolutely hypnotized by the colours,  contrasts and compositions visible everywhere in this little village.  I just had to pause and take a few shots. 

No one can resist a challenge like that. Being on the right spot at the right time is every photographer's dream.
